Balotelli: I have no intention of leaving "Man City" © EuroFootball.com

Mario Balotelli insists he has no intentions of leaving the club after the season.

A few weeks ago, English team coach Roberto Mancini claimed to have considered the possibility of selling the footballer, who has not escaped scandals both on and off the field.

However, Balotelli told journalists: "My future? I have a long-term contract with Man City and I do not intend to change the team."

"Right now, I'm only thinking about winning the English Premier League. Why do you always ask about Milan or Inter Milan? I don't feel any nostalgia for Italy, because English football suits me perfectly. When I played for Inter, every time I had a problem, I would call my mom, but now I have to solve everything myself."

The 21-year-old Balotelli admitted having problems: "I have room for improvement: behavior on the field is the most important, but there is also something to learn tactically. I have the privilege of working with Mancini, who is one of the best, maybe even the best coach in the world. Our relationship is good, he believes in me."
